What Readers are saying...
I love your book "Real." As someone who sees her hands becoming like those of her mother and grandmother's, it is inspiring to be reminded of the "soul" that is reflected in those wrinkles and spots. The entire book is a treat.

My wife has given it to three of her friends and interestingly I found that the husbands have picked it up and reading it also. All have had very positive comments. Great job on the book. Looks great, photos are excellent and keeps your attention while reading. One just cannot wait to get to the next story.

I love Daniel's story. . . gave me chills! I just read Douglas's story and it was awesome! . . . loved it! . . . a perfect reflection of a very complex man. . . . Every time I think I've found a favorite, I read another one I like just as much. I think they're all equally moving and well thought out. I can't think of how to succinctly get the point across of how great REAL is. I am behind this book 100%. It is truly awesome!!! Can't believe you captured so much in so little space. Everyone needs a copy!

Inspired by REAL
“My prayer: that I would honor and esteem any lifting, carrying, guiding, and teaching I may inadvertently do – that I would remember it is not this world I do it for. Moreover, those considered “less than viable: by this world’s” standards are who I will be held accountable for: how I think about and treat them. What “real” miracles have I already missed by being seduced in looking for the spectacular?- Let me hear the cry of the gospel and respond”

“I can only hope that such an opportunity present itself I will be able and willing to accept Jesus’s offered invitation to participate in something extraordinary, something otherly. I would hope that I would not succumb to the economy of the world ‘financially or socially’ I want to pass the test. Not be afraid to get dirty and end up looking as much like Jesus as humanly possible on my way to whatever Cross Christ has for me. “
